Finale

I'm not a supporting character on your show

Who only exists when it's convenient for you

I'm still here with my own life

With my own thoughts and feelings that matter too

For a while I was straddling between persistence and foolishness

But I think I've long since crossed that line

I keep breaking my own heart time after time because I won't admit

That your heart never has been and never will be mine

I get that you can't force it, and it would make life easier if we could

But love is not something you can control

At the same time I can't keep questioning my worth because you don't see it

And the constant rejection eventually takes its toll

I'm waiting here with bated breath

Knowing it's not a matter of if but when

When will you push me to the side, move on, and leave me behind

Wondering each time I see you if I'll ever see you again

I wish you would wake up and be grateful

Stop looking and realize what you've found

But I don't want you to decide to settle for me

Just because I eventually wear you down

I thought you were everything I'd been searching for

But I'm looking for a partner to share life with

I'm not looking to play games or enjoy the chase

Or hold up the totality of a one-sided relationship

I'm Steve Urkel turning down Myras to keep chasing after you

It's exhausting pursuing my Laura, and this is no sitcom

How long can I ask myself how much longer I can keep this up

When it's already been far too long

You're not suddenly going to realize one day that you really love me back

This is not going to end like Nikki Parker and Professor Oglevee

I've been waiting for some magical finale ending

Because I didn't want to admit that you'd rather be alone than be with me

Nothing will change by endlessly following you around like a lovesick puppy

I'm not going to convince you to want me somehow

I keep questioning what you feel and where I stand with you

But you've been giving me the answers for years now
